Faba Books is a self-publishing platform that allows authors to showcase their free books while earning 100% of the ad revenue. Ads are placed every 5-10 pages, creating a seamless reading experience without any cost to readers. Faba Books is part of Faba Films, a self-distributing streaming platform for artists.

It all comes down to ePMR: Earnings Per 1,000 Reads. On Faba Books, authors can typically earn $200–$300+ per 1,000 reads. This is a completely new metric. YouTubers or streamers typically earn $2.95 per 1000 ad impressions as of 2026. Now, authors on Faba Books can make more! Instead of relying on book sales, Faba Books uses high-paying rewarded ads placed every 5–10 pages, allowing you to earn consistently as readers engage with your content. Your eBook/PDF is automatically turned into an audiobook Instant page-by-page translation in multiple languages Available in multiple accents You earn from ad breaks every ~6 minutes So you’re not just publishing. You’re building a multi-format revenue stream from a single book!

No. Faba Films works directly in your web browser, so there is nothing to download or install. We intentionally chose a web-based platform to help eliminate app-download fatigue and make it easier for viewers to start watching instantly. This approach also helps support independent filmmakers. In general, advertising revenue on mobile apps can be significantly lower (15-100x less) than on web-based platforms like Faba Films, particularly when using rewarded advertising. By streaming through our website, we can maximize revenue opportunities and help ensure that more ad revenue goes directly to the artists and creators who share their work on Faba Films. If you'd like quicker access, you can save Faba Films to your device by selecting "Add to Home Screen" in your browser settings.

Faba Books is 100% free for readers because we believe art should be free and accessible. No subscriptions, no hidden fees, no viewer logins required.

We believe art should be free and accessible. When your book is free: You reach significantly more readers More readers = more completed reads More completed reads = higher ePMR earnings Instead of fighting for a $9.99 sale, you’re scaling to thousands of readers while earning consistent ad revenue.

Faba Books accepts both EPUB and PDF eBook uploads. While PDFs are fully supported, we strongly recommend uploading an EPUB whenever possible, as EPUB files provide a more responsive reading experience across mobile phones, tablets, and desktop devices. Supported Formats: EPUB (Recommended) PDF Correct size document preferred: All sizes welcome, portrait, landscape, A4, A5, and other standard or non-standard page sizes are preferred. Not accepting Word Docs. *Our flipbook is designed to adapt to different PDF page sizes and orientations without forcing one fixed document shape.

Yes, navigate to your Publisher Hub, locate your eBook, and select "Hide From Profile." You’re free to hide or unhide your book at any time, but keep in mind, this does not pause your publishing duration.

Books you do not fully own or control. Pornographic picture books. We currently do NOT accept books that contain explicit pornographic images. While we respect artistic expression, any content featuring pornographic visuals is strictly prohibited. Books that violate this policy will be removed immediately and may result in a permanent ban from the platform. However, written content that is adult or pornographic in nature without explicit images is permitted.

Not at all :)
